HTML – A STEP AHEAD SERIES Part I
Email To Friend
Greetings!!!
Let me tell you I am not writing this document as a technical document or a book I am just taking it as an oppurtunity to share my knowledge with you all so may be this document is not a very good technical document but this will prove a good one to learn ASP.NET as per best of my knowledge so let us start
Before starting ASP.Net let me tell you the basic purpose why we people go for it. Broadly speaking there two type of customized applications which we developers make one is Desktop Application and another is Web Application.
For purpose of desktop application is mainly what we develop for the client normally works in there office and for which we need not to have internet access Max to Max those are made for there own LAN so that it could work for there own network can use some of its networks
The Web Applications are the applications which run on the internet and they may be viewed by any one and anywhere in the world. Now here I would like to clear that it is not necessary, Web Applications will run on internet they are also capable for running on the system too provided that system is having the capabilities to serve as a server.
To our scope here we are only going to learn the part of web development. For the development of a web application we must be equipped with the following:–
1. A Language which must be understood by all browsers i.e. HTML.
2. A Scripting Language with which we can perform some actions say JAVASCRIPT
Note: – A scripting language differentiates itself from other typical languages in that they are usually simpler to learn and use as well as not needing to be compiled. The language is interpreted at run-time so you can execute instructions immediately…
3. CSS: — A method used to attach styles such as specific fonts, colors, and spacing to HTML documents. Because they “cascade,” some elements take precedence over others
4. A Server Side Language ASP.Net , C#, Ajax, SilverLight
So how are you all? Hope you have well understood the concept and topics which we have read yesterday any doubts if yes then please clarify them right now so that we can proceed further without any hurdle…
Fine!!!
Let’s Start With Our New and Fresh Topic HTML
Introduction:–
So any one have some idea about HTML. Ya Good so what is HTML?
Hyper Text Markup Language. Yes exactly this is the full form of the HTML.
In a lay man language we can say
The programming language used to create documents for display on the World Wide Web.
And we can define HTML as
* Hypertext Markup Language. A standardized language of computer code, imbedded in “source” documents behind all Web documents, containing the textual content, images, links to other documents (and possibly other applications such as sound or motion), and formatting instructions for display on the screen. When you view a Web page, you are looking at the product of this code working behind the scenes in conjunction with your browser. Browsers are programmed to interpret HTML for display. HTML often imbeds within it other programming languages and applications such as SGML, XML, JavaScript, CGI-script and more. It is possible to deliver or access and execute virtually any program via the Web.
Some more important points for HTML are we really need not any exact HTML editor to create the web pages. Even our notepad will solve the purpose and we will use notepad for the purpose. What we have to keep in mind is when we will save our files there extensions will be “.htm†or “.htmlâ€
Hope now you all are clear with the idea of HTML so a short brush up till now
HTML is a language we used to create web pages and web browsers are needed to view the output of the HTML code browsers are the applications which interpret the code.
Now let us talk about the term Tag
A marker embedded in a document that indicates the purpose or function of the element. Such tags are used to format web documents. Tags start and end with angle brackets (< >) to distinguish them from normal text. They are also commonly referred to as Markup tags.
Types of Tag.
Conventionally there were two types of tag:-
1. Empty Tag
2. Container Tag
The Tag Which require only Opening tags and no closing tag are called open tag or empty tag.
But the tags those who require both the opening and the closing tag and can have another tag in them are called container tags
But now the concept of empty tags are not supported. Now this doesn’t mean that now there are no empty tags yes they are there but they all are virtually closed. And we must follow the convention.
Now let us start with the structure of a HTML Page
here is a basic structure of an HTML Page
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
My First Page
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Contents of my page will go here
</BODY>
</HTML>
any html page must start with the Html tag and end with the closing html tag. as in the above example the HTML is not a case sensitive language i.e. you can writethe tag name in lower case or upper case even in mixed mode it doesn’t matter it will work same in all the situations.
<HTML >Tag will tell the start of the HTML document
<HEAD> used to give the information about the page
<TITLE> sets the text for the title bar of the window
My First Page
</TITLE> ends the title tag
</HEAD> tells the end of head tag
<BODY> contains the contents of the HTML page
Contents of my page will go here
</BODY>
</HTML> Will tell The End of the HTML Document
